        ok. Cob (caligari trueSpace) is a little shakey, but don't worry, I'm likely to be the only person to be using that....

        OBJ so far is nice and solid, other than some scaling issues.. everythings coming in tiny 😉 but thats not a real issue...

        thanks again!

          Hi, i tried your plugin

          It worked for a OBJ file

          but not for this DXF file (joined)

          do you know why?

          Hi,

          Import fails because filename contains a '#' character.
          Substitute '#' with '_' and import will be succesful. 😉

                I have not had this program to import any files, STL or OBJ or STP. Below is the following error message I get trying to import an STP file of a nut that is 24k large.

                I did notice in the program, it lists the file as obj file when the file name is, CROSBY 2160 300T NUT.STP.

                Thanks for your help.

                  Could you please upload whole folder (model and textures) to a file hoster? This way I could debug it.

                    Good news: I'm working on a macOS version of plugin. 😛 Stay tuned!

                      Run SketchUp as Administrator then re-import OBJ model. Let me know if problem persists.

                      If this step fixes the issue then it's almost certain that SketchUp was not installed correctly !

                      To fix it...
                      Whilst logged into Windows as your normal Windows user-name, ensure that SketchUp is closed.
                      Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - probably in your Downloads folder ?
                      Select the exe file's icon and right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
                      When prompted choose "Repair".
                      Restart SketchUp and retry...

                      Installing any complex app in any other way can cause weird and unpredictable problems, often around permissions...
                      So never double-click an installer's exe file to 'Run' it - even if you have admin-powers, it is not the same thing.

                          Your model had absolute paths to textures. That's not supported by plugin.
                          I converted absolute paths to relative paths with a text editor. It's OK now:

                                @Danish9762: You need to relax the extension loading policy you have set withing SketchUp.

                                Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                  @Danish9762 "Unsigned" problem isn't a bug, it just means plugin doesn't come from SketchUp Extension Warehouse.

                                  As suggested by @juju, relax SketchUp extension loading policy settings. To access these settings, select Window > Preferences > Extensions Policy (Microsoft Windows) or SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions > Policy tab (OS X). SketchUp has three available extension policy modes: “Identified Extensions Only”, “Approve Unidentified Extensions”, and “Unrestricted”. Select “Unrestricted” then restart SketchUp.

                                        It was already mentioned on GitHub page. And now, it's also mentioned on SketchUcation page.

                                            Thanks for the macos version!! 👍

                                            SU2017 & macOS 10.13.6

                                            I found some problems with the importing:

                                            1. If you import a file that contains a space in filename (e.g. Pinas Prueba.obj), it appears a popup message window in Sketchup: "Import Error". I looked in the Console (I opened SketchUp via Terminal) and this is the error message:

                                            assimp export; wrote output file; /Users/Oxer/.UniversalImporter/tmp/Pinas Prueba.obj.dae
                                            Warning; uri contains white space, dom will convert them to %20 in output files!
                                              uri=#Pinas Prueba.obj.obj
                                            Error; daeStandardURIResolver;;resolveElement() - failed to resolve file;//localhost/Users/Oxer/.UniversalImporter/tmp/Pinas Prueba.obj.dae#Pinas Prueba.obj.obj
                                            

                                            2. With a file without spaces in filename Universal Importer work fine but nothing is imported, it appears a popup window in Sketchup with this text --> 'An empty component cannot be inserted'
                                            I probed with different file format: obj, dae, fbx, blend and the same in all.

                                            Generated files.jpg

                                            Warning message.jpg

                                            Perhaps it is a SketchUp error or perhaps is a problem with the scale, I don't know it, but I tried changing the 405 line in converter.rb:

                                            dae_export.sub!('meter="1"', 'meter="0.01"')
                                            
                                             to   
                                            
                                             dae_export.sub!('meter="1"', 'meter="1"')
                                            

                                            And the Universal Importer inserted a flat component with two lines, see the image:

                                            Inserted component with meter=1.jpg

                                            3. When you select a file (e.g. in the Finder) to import, the plugin copy all Finder files to the temp folder, why? and are this files delete automatically or is it necessary delete manually?

                                            4. A minor detail, the texts 'Select a 3D Model' '3D Models |.3d;.3ds;.3mf;.ac;.ac3d;.acc;...' 'Select a Texture Atlas (Optional)' 'Images |.jpg;.png;*.bmp;||' do not appear in the importing windows.

                                            Again, thanks for your efforts !!
